The Sao Paulo federal court have said that the 23-year-old is alleged to have evaded 63 million reals in Brazil taxes (almost $16m or €14m) between 2011 and 2013.

Spanish court also claims that Barcelona club president Josep Bartomeu and his predecessor Sandro Rosell evaded millions in taxes after signing Neymar from Santos. Neymar and his father have been ordered to testify in Spanish court in that case on Feb. 2.
